Play Bay Hill Club & Lodge, one of the most popular courses on the PGA Tour

This week, TruGolf is headed to the island of Orlando, Florida to visit the Bay Hill Club and Lodge. The 18-hole golf course opened in 1961. More than 50 years later, Bay Hill is home to one of golf’s greatest legends, and is considered one of the finest golf courses in the world.

Bay Hill Club & Lounge was the first golf course planted with Tifway Bermuda grass. During its initial years, wildlife still inhabited the land including a family of bobcats that resided around the now famous 17th Otters still claimed the lakes as their homes.

In 1965, Arnold Palmer won a charity exhibition tournament at Bay Hill, sponsored by the Orlando Chamber of Commerce, and his love for this beautiful property and challenging golf venue began. Palmer told his wife Winnie that he wanted to own Bay Hill.

Palmer took ownership of Bay Hill in 1975 and polished the original visions of Bay Hill into the prestigious course it is today with the stature of a world-class facility.
